Title: Freedomship
Post by: EHM-1001 Robert on May 25, 2004, 06:24:15 pm
I did it, I did it !!!!!

I used an amazing combination and versions of conversion tools and finally I get a superb BGL file! The half ship is now floating in the Chicago bay !!!!! And look at those FPS rates! Superb !!!!! I am so  excited !!! ;D This is my first scenery object.

About the FPS, my specs: AMD Athlon 2000, 512 MB RAM, Leadtek GeForce-FX 5700@128 MB.

THE TRICK THAT FINALLY WORKED:

I used the FS2004 version FSModelExp.dle to get a good conversion, while used MDLCommander in the background to get it in X file format. Then compiled it to BGL with the FS2002 version of MakeMDL and it worked !!!!!

Congratulations! Looks great... is there going to be a textured version? If yes, you could write EuroHarmony somewhere on it ;D.
And did you take off in a B744?

Yes, really looks great. I do not know if I will add textures to it, cos it is really too much work. I wanted to try out if this works or not. Maybe later I will finish. But I will surely add an EHM logo on those rear "tail"s.

I could not land or take off from the Freedomship I just circled around it in slew mode.

Wires? ;D Which EHM plane is equipped with an arrestor hook? Maybe I should insert an F14 into the business fleet? ;D

I totally agree on the F-14 ;D
We could even make a business from selling airpower to foreign countries who need it (with pilots included, too) ;D;D;D

What do you mean you couldn't land on it? Is the surface landable? Or do you just sink into it?

OK, maybe I can add an F14 onboard as a static scenery.

The ship will be all white where there is not texture. If you have similar problems like me, you need to download these files:

-GMAX1.2 by Discreet (http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax)
-MakeMDL SDK for FS8 by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/fs2002_downloads_sdk.asp#makemdl) (MakeMDL.exe for convert X file into FS8)
-GMAX gamepack SDK for FS9 by Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/fs2004_downloads_sdk.asp#gmax) (FSModelExp.dle for making X file and FS9 objects, and MakeMDL.exe for FS9 objects)
-MDLCommander by Moriarty Industries (http://hometown.aol.de/_ht_a/docmoriarty3/fs2002/en/index.html) (for getting X files).
